Drunk Off-Duty Cop Crashes Into Tiffany’s Storefront in NYC.



An off-duty cop and two passengers were injured in a drunken driving accident early Saturday when their car flipped over and slammed into Tiffany’s famed midtown storefront, police said. Officer Raphael Ospina was behind the wheel when his luxury car plowed into a garbage truck at the corner of 57th St. and Fifth Ave. before careening onto the sidewalk at 3 a.m., cops said.

Blood was splattered throughout the inside of the crumpled Chrysler 300, but while all three men were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, their injuries were not considered life-threatening, officials said.

A champagne cork and a carton of Tropicana orange juice were spotted inside Ospina’s car, which had its windshield shattered in the crash. Its roof was cut off by firefighters to rescue the men trapped inside. Ospina, 27, was charged with driving while intoxicated and vehicular assault.
